Safe Pro Group's InFlight AI threat detection system will be integrated into Red Cat's Black Widow drones for U.S. Army exercises, enhancing real-time battlefield threat identification.

Safe Pro Group Inc. (NASDAQ: SPAI) announced it will unveil its new InFlight embeddable, real-time AI-powered threat detection package integrated into Red Cat Holdings’ (NASDAQ: RCAT) Black Widow drones during U.S. Army exercises scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. The integration marks a significant step in providing the Army with advanced situational awareness capabilities directly on the drone platform.
Embedded directly onboard the Black Widow platform, which was selected under the U.S. Army’s Short Range Reconnaissance Program of Record, InFlight enables real-time detection and location of more than 150 explosive threats, including landmines, cluster munitions, and ambush FPV drones. The system delivers live threat data into the Army’s Tactical Assault Kit software ecosystem, enhancing battlefield situational awareness and tactical decision-making.
This development is important because it addresses a critical need for immediate threat detection in contested environments. Traditional methods often rely on post-mission analysis, which can delay response times. By processing data in-flight, soldiers receive actionable intelligence without latency, potentially reducing casualties and improving mission effectiveness.
The partnership with Red Cat Holdings leverages the Black Widow drone’s capabilities as a proven platform for reconnaissance. The integration of Safe Pro’s AI software, built on Amazon Web Services, ensures scalability and reliability. For more details, the full press release is available at https://ibn.fm/8uyZA.
